À propos de ce produit
Most Business Central teams plan shifts in spreadsheets that drift out of sync with the actual HR data sitting in BC. Workforce Scheduling & Shift Roster closes that gap by bringing the roster inside Dynamics 365 Business Central as a native AL extension, reading directly from the Employee, Resource, and absence tables you already maintain.
This is a build-to-order product. ECOSIRE builds the extension to fit your shift patterns, installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment (cloud SaaS or on-prem), and supports it after go-live. It is not an instant Microsoft AppSource download — you get a scoped build, a real installation on your tenant, and a named engineer behind it.
The core is a drag-and-drop shift builder rendered through a custom AL page, backed by new ledger-style tables for shifts, templates, and assignments. Event subscribers keep the roster honest: when an employee files leave or an availability record changes, the affected shifts flag immediately. Open shifts can be published for bidding, and swaps route through an approval flow. A coverage and labor-cost view forecasts hours and wage cost per location against demand, using employee pay-rate data.
Scheduling data is exposed through custom API (v2) / OData pages so rosters flow to Power BI, the Power Platform, or a mobile flow that pushes shift notifications. Background recalculation runs on the Job Queue. Dedicated permission sets keep planners, managers, and staff scoped correctly. Everything is your data, in your tenant — no third-party scheduling silo, no re-keying, no export-import dance between BC and a separate roster tool.

Foire aux questions sur Workforce Scheduling & Shift Roster for Business Central
How long until the extension is built and live on our Business Central environment?
Typical lead time is one working week from a confirmed scope. We start with a short requirements pass on your shift patterns, leave rules and pay structure, build the AL extension, install and validate it on your sandbox, then deploy to production with you. Heavier customization (complex labor-law rules, deep Dataverse/Power Apps portals) can extend that — we give you a firm date once scope is locked, not a vague promise.
Is this the same as installing an app from Microsoft AppSource?
No. This is a build-to-order, per-tenant extension. ECOSIRE develops it specifically for your tenant and shift model and installs it directly on your Business Central environment. There is no instant AppSource download. The upside is that it fits your processes exactly and you receive the AL source code; the trade-off is the short build lead time above.
What happens with ongoing support and Business Central updates?
Your purchase includes a defined post-go-live support window for fixes and questions. Because it is a per-tenant extension, it follows your environment's update cadence; we test it against Business Central's major-release schedule and adjust event subscribers or APIs if Microsoft deprecates something. Ongoing maintenance, enhancements and future-version compatibility are available as a separate support retainer.
Does it work with Business Central online (SaaS) and on-premises?
Yes. The extension is written in AL against the supported extension model, so it deploys to Business Central online (cloud SaaS) as a per-tenant extension and to supported on-premises versions. We confirm your exact version and localization during scoping, since available HR/absence tables and API surfaces vary slightly by version and country.
Can the schedule data feed Power BI, Power Apps, or send mobile notifications?
Yes. The extension exposes rosters, assignments and coverage through custom API (v2) / OData pages. From there we can wire a Power BI report, a Power Apps canvas app for staff self-service, and a Power Automate flow that pushes shift notifications to employees by email, Teams or mobile push. These integrations are scoped with you so you only pay for the channels you need.
